    51. In the year 1847, I was afflicted with what was supposed to be consumption, find was so much reduced and emaciated by my cough, which had been for many months very severe, that little hope was entertained of my recovery. The late Dr. Fisher, of this city, my attending physician, pronounced my case one of confirmed consumption, and consequently gave me little encouragement. While in this condition, I was subjected to an examination by Dr. A. Paige, v:ho employed electricity for thai purpose, and who pronounced my disease not con- sumption, but a weakness of the respiratory nerves and intercostals, affecting the diaphragm, &c. That his examination was correct, and that he is enabled to employ this wonderful agent, not only in detecting the location of diseases, but also in their cure, is fully established by the fact, that by his electrical treatment alone I was immediately relieved, and in a few weeks entirely restored. For more than four years I have already enjoyed most perfect health, and, in the hands of Provi- dence, / ascribe my recovery entirely to Dr. Paige and electricity. (Signed,) EDWARD M. THURSTON, JYo. 4 Taylor street, Boston. February 18, 1852. Boston, February 19, 1852. This certifies that in the year 1848,1 was afflicted with a disease in my right eye, probably induced by too close application to my business (that of engraving), which threatened the entire loss of sight. Having tested the usual remedies of the most eminent physicians in the city without relief, I was induced to try Dr. A. Paige's electrical treatment. On my application to him my eye was highly inflamed, very sensitive, painful, and weak. I was immediately relieved by his judicious treat- ment, and in a short time fully restored. I have recommended several of my friends to him, who have also been cured, and shall continue to recommend his use of this valuable agent, as well adapted to different diseases. (Signed,) EBEN. TAPPAN, (Firm of Tappan fy Bradford, JVo. 221 Washington street,) Boston, Mass. 53. Dr. A. Paige : Dear Sir,— Your electrical treatment has entirely cured me of the Rheumatism with which I had been so long and severely afflicted before I made application to you. Your remedies gave immediate relief, and in the short space of three weeks effected a permanent cure. Considering my extreme suffering, and the fact that I had previously tested all the remedies usually recommended in such eases, I think your treatment most wonderfully successful. Since my cure, I have recommended several of my friends to test the same reme- dies, and am happy to inform you that they too have been cured. The public should understand the advantages of your new method of employing this wonderful ftgent, and avail themselves of it, when suffering from various diseases. Yours truly, ARTHUR HATHAWAY, JYo. 29 Milk street, Boston. February 25, 1852. 54. Dr. A. Paioe: Dear Sir,— Previous to my application to you, about eighteen months since, I had been for many years afflicted with a disease of the heart, for which I could obtain no relief. My suffering was very great. At times I was vis- ited with paroxysms, in which I lost all muscular power, and from which my physicians could only restore me with the greatest difficulty. My friends were of course much alarmed as to my safety, and, as I had myself given up all expectation of recovery, I only called on you, when I did, for their gratification. The effect of your electrical treatment has been highly satisfactory. For many months, I have been free from suffering, and feel that I am cured of my disease. I can recommend your use of the potent agent, electricity, in such cases, as skilful, judicious, and highly successful. Gratefully yours, URIEL CLARK, JYo. 291 Washington street, Boston. March 2,1852. ^^^^
